Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** Opera is a web browser that is in the process of being ported to many platforms, via its "Project Magic" initiative (see http://www.opera.com/alt_os.html). The OS/2 port has been on-again, off-again for well over a year. On July 5th, Opera posted this update: Negotiations went well and the leader of the teams submits his first update as follows: "We hope to get the Windows Source code this week, then we will use our Odin32-APIs on OS/2 to do a quick port. Our first goal is to fix the missing items in Odin32 that we can port the binary version of Opera for Windows to OS/2, then we have everything we need to recompile the Windows source on OS/2 with just a few changes. OS/2 specific enhancements will also be included in the future. http://www.netlabs.org/odin/" So it looks like we're not any closer to an OS/2 port, but it does mean that Project Odin (aka Win32-OS/2) is more important than ever. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
